Be careful when you pick up the phone. Know who you’re dialing, get the number right, and whatever you do…don’t invite anything in.

STRAIGHT TO JUST THE AUDIO HERE

The rumor is a ghost was contacted the first time Alexander Graham Bell used the phone, and it hasn’t eased up since. The technology changes, but the creepy remains. From calls from the recently dead to urban legends about cursed numbers, the phone has always been a direct line to the spooky. Join Christopher Balzano as he tells some true stories of times when the line goes dead and explores the weirdest urban legends in the world of telecommunications…including calling some of these numbers live.

Visit The Ghosts in My Machine to hear some of the original audio from some of these calls as well as a more in-depth exploration of some of the backstories.
